Scars And Souvenirs

D


[Verse 1]

D                  G             
It's been 15 some odd years since
       D
 we lost Aunt Lil
Plays Russian Roulette with memories
 A                   A7
 nothin' but time to kill
D                                 
He's too old to work his cattle 
  G
and too stubborn to stay in bed
And each mornin' over coffee, he 
A                           D
turns to her picture and he says


[Chorus]
              G
"Oh I've been better
          D
I've been worse a time or two
D     A
I got two bloodshot eyes
                            D7
And that's enough to see me through
G                D
Fair to middlin' considerin'
A             G         D
Life's mostly scars and souvenirs"

D                                
There's wrinkles on his face and 
G               D
wrinkles on his clothes
                              A 
And he wears a little thinner as 
          A7
each day unfolds
D                            G
He swears he'll live forever just to
 spite his health
But it takes Christian Brother's 
A                        D
brandy to reassure himself


[Chorus]
             G
"Oh I've been better
          D
I've been worse a time or two
D     A
I got two bloodshot eyes
                            D7
And that's enough to see me through
G                D
Fair to middlin' considerin'
A             G         D
Life's mostly scars and souvenirs"


[Instrument Break]


[Verse 3]
D
A picture is worth a thousand words
G                           D
And money made is money spent

Bless us oh Lord, for these thy 
gifts
A                     A7
I know not where they went
D
Now the postman brings his pension
G
And the county brings his meals

And I drop by from time to time
A                      D
To ask him how he feels


[Chorus]
              G
"Oh I've been better
          D
I've been worse a time or two
D     A
I got two bloodshot eyes
                            D7
And that's enough to see me through
G                D
Fair to middlin' considerin'
A             G         D
Life's mostly scars and souvenirs"
A             G         D
Life's mostly scars and souvenirs
